It's one of those days again: Apple held a product announcement today, announcing several new products. The most important of which was rumoured about for a long time now: a smaller iPad. It's called the iPad mini, and has the potential to become the best-selling iPad - and thus, the best selling tablet.

It's not about hardware though, it's about software. The RIM software is still in catch up mode and the amount of apps is a joke. Coupled with the fact that RIM seem to have EOL'd the original Playbook (and all retailer are desperately trying to offload them at super-discounted prices, a 64GB one is under £200 now, more like £130 if you shop around), the future seems pretty bleak to me.
